Gavaskar questions team-no workload on IPL, why is it for India???
The former india batsman said that indian cricket needs to move beyond "workload management". He said that players forget such a concept when they play the entire indian Premier League.
Since the defeat of Team india in the semi-finals of the t20 World Cup, there has been a lot of criticism of the indian players. Some people are also questioning the strategy of Team India. The indian team had to data-face defeat against england by 10 wickets. Former india captain and great batsman sunil gavaskar has targeted Team India. Along with this, the concept of workload management has also been attacked.
Gavaskar said- You play IPL, play the whole season, and there you travel. Only the last IPL was held in one state. In everything else, you keep running hither and thither. Aren't you tired there? Wasn't there a workload? Only when you have to play for india, that too when you go to non-glamorous countries, then that become your workload? This thing is wrong. Gavaskar said that indian players should not be pampered so much. bcci needs to send a strong message to the cricketers.
Gavaskar said- Workload, workload, workload... When IPL came and all the players forgot the workload to play IPL. Changes will happen and should happen. Who and what will be the changes will be decided by the selection committee. But you have to send messages to the players. Team india could not even defend the big target of 169 runs. indian bowlers struggled to take wickets throughout the match. england chased down the target in 16 overs without losing a wicket.
